permits you to use one copy of the specified version of the Dianthus 
software product identified above ("SOFTWARE") on any single computer, 
provided the SOFTWARE is in use on only one computer at any time.  If you 
have multiple Licenses for the SOFTWARE, then at any time you may have as

mechanism or process in place to assure that the number of persons using the
SOFTWARE concurrently does not exceed the number of Licenses.  If the 
SOFTWARE is permanently installed on the hard disk or other storage device 
of a computer (other than the network server) and one person uses that 
computer more than 80% of the time it is in use, then that person may also 
use the SOFTWARE on a portable home computer.
